Posted by Gold_12TH on Tue Jun 26 22:39:08 2012, in response to 23rd Street station, BMT Broadway Line now has countdown clocks?, posted by Gold_12TH on Mon Jun 25 20:55:36 2012. "The plan is to test the clocks at 14th St., 23rd St. and 28th Sts. along the BMT Broadway Line, and the underlying technology uses Optical Character Recognition and some scheduling information. Right now, Transit says they are still working with vendors to configure the software, and the customer information screens may display some messages while the tests move forward.""OCR can be used to identify train sets based on scans of the car numbers as they move through the system. Such a technology can offer similar results to the A Division’s clocks, but the underlying technology is entirely different." ---http://secondavenuesagas.com/2012/06/26/photo-a-b-division-countdown-clock-in-trial |
